Travels and other things

The other morning after the night of dualing lizards keeping me awake, I went to work a little more tired than normal. When I went in to the parts room, Jacob, a local young married father, asked me how I was. I said I was tired and he then said he and his wife had been up all night trying to cool off their baby, because their side of the block had no electricity, and hadn't for days and the fans that they normally use at night didn't work. My lizard wars didn't sound too bad after that. Some times I forget just how it is to live outside the compound for my co-workers.
